Veteran Qatari to tour Japan on bicycle

Doha: Veteran Qatari cyclist Abdullah Al Hammadi will ride 3,000km during which he will tour Japan from south to north for six days in a row, taking only one day break during his “21 day-journey” to the Land of Samurai.

“The experience might be very harsh because of the weather at the plains, valleys and terrain. It’s going to be a daunting task,” Qatar Cycling and Triathlon Federation said in a statement. “We wish him good luck and hope he completes the tour.”
